What Else Do You Collect?

I collect teenagers.... not that I want to, but they just seem to accumulate here... got my two boys.... one of my oldest son's friend lived with us for about 8 months when his mom threw him out.... another one of his friends would stay here for weeks at a time while his mom and he were fighting... then my niece moved in for a couple years,.. now my oldest boy's fiance stays here 4 or 5 times a week.... and I guess I have a grand daughter that's suppose to be showing up the first of July.... I just can't seem to get away from them...

 

Air fired warning devices. The louder the better

 

Recently, I've started fooling around with dual and tripower carb setups and so I have been collecting scrap stainless steel small diameter bar flat and tube to make my levers & brackets etc.

I am not a fan of cable linkages when it comes to flathead engines.

 

I seem to be unable to stop collecting wheeling machines and other metalshaping machines and tools...





just added another one today - the makings of a power hammer.

I'll collect anything that will rust, leak, or cause physical harm.
Hey...anybody got anything like that for sale??!?.

 

Gauges,,,, THOUSANDS of them, from odd, rare, different, to garbage, wouldnt put them in a car I drive gauges. My kid thinks Im uts, I cant hardly leave the house without comig back from an antique store, thrift store or swap meet and not have at least one in my hands or pockets.

Its more of an OCD obbsesion now.

 

Wyandotte toy cars and trucks. they went out of business in 1956, these are pre-war except for the lithographed yellow and red tractor trailer. I probably have about 100 cars trucks and airplanes.

 

1949 Chevrolet junk, there is a few 50-51-and 52 pieces here as well.

 

80's skateboards, and cigarbox guitars...

 

So, you're collecting pictures of doors?

 

I collect pretty much anything that has to do with Mopar, but mostly Hotwheels cause they are cheap easy to find and look overwhelming in huge numbers.

I collect dust! Alot of dust! Just got told by Doc I have a severe dust mite allergy. I'm so screwed.


Update! Now collecting Kleenex!

 

Ex wives and ……. antiques and vintage snow country stuff for my cabin style / type home in the mountains

 

All kinds of stuff! Old body tools are my favorite.

 

I use to collect speeding tickets.

 

Sounds like an expensive hobby LOL...

 

1/16th scale tractors and hotwheels.

 

look at all those tractors!

 

Adjusted for inflation, 39.40 is about $515.00 in today'soney, so it seems like they were around the same price then as now.

 

Small collection of breweriana of Kansas City-based brewers. Royal Beer put out a series of mugs with "toasts" printed on them. I have a few that are pre-Prohibition and a flock of post-Prohibition ones.


Another KC-based brewery was run by the Muehlebach family (same as the world-famous Muehlebach Hotel) and I have a few serving trays (if anyone knows of a white version of the Muehlebach serving tray, I'm buying), a tip tray, a lighted clock/sign, and a thermometer (not shown). Muehlebach lasted until the '50s when they were bought by Falstaff and then closed in the '60s. The Pabst tray in the background was the one that started this obsession about seven years ago.

 

5.9 and 3.9 Cummins motors.

 

Got a few cars! and a few toys!
